Written by Fanny Crosby
Lift up thine eyes, O watchman, the armies of
the Lord
Are riding forth to conquest with buckler, shield and sword;
Glad tidings unto Zion, that valiant host shall ring,
And shout aloud, �Hosanna! The Lord, the Lord is King�;
And shout aloud, �Hosanna! The Lord, the Lord is King.�
What dost thou see, O watchman? What dost thou see afar?
�The gleaming of a banner, the rising of a Star.�
Then cry aloud, O watchman, with trumpet voice proclaim,
To all a full salvation, through Christ, the Savior�s Name,
To all a full salvation, through Christ, the Savior�s Name.
That radiant banner gleaming, that Star divinely bright,
Shall bear to every nation the bless�d Gospel light;
All kingdoms, crowns, and scepters, before the Cross shall fall,
And Christ shall reign triumphant, the King and Lord of all;
And Christ shall reign triumphant, the King and Lord of all.
